I live in the County Durham countryside.
In July 2018 a road bridge was closed for repairs.
We were given the re-opening of December 2018.
I think it was November 2018 when we were told the council had just found the bridge to be dangerous and the re-opening was to be decided at a later date.
We are now told the council will not be re-opening the bridge as it will cost too much.
This bridge is heavily used by the villages on one side of the river to cross the river to get to towns on the opposite side, and vice versa. The journey time is now more than doubled.
Can the council close a road that is a heavily used road?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
